Has anyone written an essay that explains, in a level-headed tone rather
than in a slashdot-like polemic, how the *design* of Windows, Office,
Outlook, etc. make them hard to secure?  I have my suspicions, but I'm
not familiar enough with Windows programming to be sure.

Well, you could write your essay at your leisure and just keep
sharpening up your language until the next Windows worm hits the front
pages.  How much longer could it take?
